My sister and her two sons came out to visit us to help prepare for and celebrate the boys first birthday. It was so nice to see them. They came out for 11 days and got in right before Halloween. It was fun to see all of the boys together:

This was our boys first Halloween. Sara’s son Knox got to sport his Iron man suit the days leading up to and following Halloween. The entire house got lasered more times than we can count. He was the only one who really enjoyed (aka was old enough to understand) Halloween (other than us adults). We took him trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. The first house we went up to the lady asked “And, Who are you?” and Knox pulled up his mask and said ‘I’m Knox”. It was the cutest thing ever!

Banks was dressed up as a monkey. Not sure why we didn’t give him a banana to carry around with him.

Our boys got to wear their costumes from Grandma DeLuca again.

…with the addition of this sweet stash…

We had hundreds of kids from all over Baltimore stop by the house. It was fun just handing out candy and seeing all of the kids dressed up. We spent about $90 in candy…

Grandma Seacat had the most fun handing out candy. Until a group of guys stole her entire bowl.

My sister is working on a top secret nursery gift for the twins with the help of Knox-a-roo and I’m so excited to see what she comes up with. She already bought two robot dolls which you guys are going to LOVE! I think we’ll have to use them for monthly growing photos like the ones that Aunt Sara does for her boys.

I really really really hope we get a home to move into so we can start nesting…

***UPDATE****

Sara sent over pictures of the finished master piece and they are AMAZING. I am so impressed… they look like a professional artist did them. The boys are going to love them.

Today at 6:15 pm my sister gave birth to her second son, Banks Alan Crow. He was 8 lbs 1 ounce. I haven’t seen pictures yet but Sara says he looks exactly like what Knox did except his nose is more “Crow”. I can’t wait to meet him. The fun thing about twins is we get to see what two offspring look like at once. I can’t even imagine the combination Steve and I will make.
